Hi there,

I’m wondering why the chart create the namespace that is given on watchNamespace ? This should not be the chart responsibility to create the namespace.  
I do install it with argocd and everytime I’m updating the deployment, the namespace is deleted… loosing my data etc…

Frankly speaking for MongoDB Operator watchNamespace flag does not make any sense.  
It does not support cluster-wide (multi-namespace deployment) mode yet, but it is coming in version 1.13.

So for now the best way would be to skip this flag.  
But looking at our yaml manifest I see that we indeed create the namespace:

and it does not make sense.

Also the cronjob is created with  
`Service Account: percona-server-mongodb-operator`  
But the helm chart never create this service account nor the rbac?
